life with two sets of twins

friday favorites | spirit week

the_found_cottage

I haven’t done a Friday Favorites the past couple weeks, sorry guys! I have been so busy lately with Mason and Harper. They were sleeping through the night but now are regressing. I think it has to do with teething because they are both SO whiny, drooly, and constantly have their hands in their mouths. Whatever it is, I don’t like it.

Today I’m filming my second “day in the life” vlog, so be on the lookout for that later today. I am also going to be packing my whole house up today because we are taking the kids to Mackinac Island for the weekend. I booked the biggest room at our hotel because of all the baby gear I’m bringing, haha! The weather there is pretty chilly right now so I broke out the winter coats and hats. It should be a great time depending how the kids act. Isn’t that always the case though?

m & h are three months

mason_harper_three_months_old_1

12 weeks old… say what!? I think I’ll probably say this in every milestone post but I can’t believe how fast their first year is going. They went from sleeping all day to babbling, smiling, and laughing in a matter of months. I love how awake and alert they are becoming. I still miss all the naps, don’t get me wrong ;). They both are still eating between 4-5 oz. every three hours. Their night schedule has been amazing. They usually fall asleep around 8pm. I stay awake until 11pm to get in one more feeding for them. During this feeding they usually stay asleep and I put them in the bedroom. They stay sleeping until 6:30-7am. I can’t complain! I think they are both starting to teethe… did this happen to anybody else’s baby at three months? It seems so early but they are drooling, whining and putting their hands in their mouths. So I broke out the teethers which they don’t know how to put in their mouth.

friday favorites | the mamaroo

Happy Fri-yay! As a wife of someone who works almost every weekend, Friday doesn’t bring that much excitement. Although now I get to sleep in a smidge longer since I don’t have to wake up the girls for school. Does that really make up for all the middle of the night feedings? Nope. This week we have been working on getting back into a routine. McKenzie and Kasey are tired, I’m tired, the babies are NEVER tired.. ya know how that goes.

being the “okay” mom

 

twins_back_to_school_outfits_2

I think moms have mixed emotions about the first day back to school. It’s either the most gloriest (is that even a word?) of days or the saddest. This year I am a pretty good mixture of both. Now that my grocery bill will significantly go down and I won’t have to break up 12 girl fights a day, I’m pretty happy. On the other hand, McKenzie and Kasey help me out a lot with the new babies. They know when to put their pacifiers back in or even calm them down by singing! 🙂 I need my helpers!!!
